Convert Your Hard Drive to USB 2.0

Step 1

Open the USB 2.0 Hard Drive Kit enclosure by removing the two rear screws from the kit.

Next, set the hard drive’s jumper setting to “MASTER” or single drive setting (Western

Digital). For more information about jumper settings, please refer to your hard drive’s

documentation.

Step 4

Reassemble all the pieces of the Hard Drive Kit by placing the metal support brace into the

enclosure. Now use the other supplied screws to secure your Hard Drive Kit. The physical

assembly of your Kit is now complete.

USB 2.0 Drive Kit Software:

• For Windows 98/98SE/ME/2000/XP Insert the CD and follow directions to install the

driver. If you do not have a USB 2.0 host card your USB 2.0 Drive Kit will run at

USB 1.1 speeds.

• For MAC 9.X/OSX No drivers are required. Since Apple does not support USB 2.0

at this time your Mac will run at USB 1.1 speeds

Once the software has been properly installed, turn on your drive kit plug one end of the

USB 2.0 cable into the Drive case. With the computer running, plug the other end of the

cable into your computer’s available USB 2.0 Port/USB 1.1 Port.

If all the software was installed correctly, your drive kit should mount at this point. Some

drives need to be partitioned or formated before they can mount properly.

Things to Remember:

• The Drive Kit is not a portable device, it should be handled with care.

• Do not unplug the Drive Kit USB cable without safely un-mounting

or ejecting the drive first.
